This is a new version (0.2) of the kernel memory leak detector based on the tracing garbage collection technique. See the Documentation/kmemleak.txt file for a more detailed description. The patches are also available from http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmarinas/kmemleak/. Thanks to all who contributed useful suggestions for these patches. What's new in this version: - cleaned up the code according to the suggestions on LKML - implemented the buffering of allocation/freeing calls before kmemleak is properly initialised (many allocations would be missed without this feature) - moved the pointer leaks information from /proc/memleak to /sys/kernel/debug/memleak (debugfs) - the task stacks are not scanned by default because this can lead to many false negatives - fixed the locking and tested on SMP (ARM) - fixed other bugs To do: - better testing - better support for modules (module static variables, new pointer aliases found in modules) - test Ingo's suggestion on task stack scanning - NUMA support -- Catalin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
